The flat is very clean and comfortable, in a typical thai neighbourhood. There is a lot of food salers in the street (but they don't speak english !). The subway is close to the flat (10-15min, even with children). But the most of touristic places are far enough. But the journeys (by bus/subway/taxi/express boat...) are a part of the visit of Bangkok. We loved this flat and we recommend it. It was very easy to communicate by mail with Archie and Dao. And they were very nice !
